The water charging valve 74 and the rice charging valve 75 are operated by a water charging valve driving lever 76 and a rice charging valve driving lever 77. These levers are convex surfaces formed on the side surfaces of the drive transmission gear 78. The up and down luck is done by (shaded part). More specifically, convex portions are provided on the side of the drive transmission gear 78 on the center side 78a and the outer peripheral side 78b. Then, one end of the water injection valve drive lever 76 is installed in contact with the outer peripheral side 78b, and one end of the rice injection valve drive lever 77 is installed in contact with the center side 78a. When the drive transmission gear 78 rotates, when the convex portion on the side surface comes to one end of each closing lever, each lever is pushed up, the other end pushes down each closing valve, and the closing hole is opened. Here, a water introduction valve opening / closing detection microswitch 79 and a rice introduction opening / closing valve detection microswitch 80 which are detection means for detecting the convex portions on the center side 78a and the outer periphery side 78b of the side surface of the drive transmission gear 78 are installed. With the above configuration, the opening / closing of the water introduction hole 72 and the rice introduction hole 73 can be detected, and the opening / closing control can be performed. In other words, when each micro switch detects the convex portion of the drive transmission gear 78, it is set to be ON, and other than the convex portion is turned OFF, so that when the water introduction hole 72 is opened and the rice introduction hole 73 is closed, the water introduction valve The open / close detection microswitch 79 is turned on, and the rice insertion open / close detection microswitch 80 is turned off. When both the water introduction hole 72 and the rice introduction hole 73 are opened, both the water introduction valve opening / closing detection microswitch 79 and the rice introduction valve opening / closing detection microswitch 80 are turned OFF. As described above, regardless of the combination of opening and closing of the water charging hole 72 and the rice charging hole 73, detection can be made by the combination of ON and OFF of each micro switch, and the opening and closing of each charging hole can be freely performed. It will be possible to operate.
[0045]
Moreover, although the present Example demonstrated the structure which detects opening / closing of an insertion hole with a micro switch, it is not limited to a micro switch, it is a reed switch, it is a photo sensor, but a detection means is not limited. .
[0046]
Further, although the present embodiment has described the configuration in which each closing valve can be opened and closed by one driving means, the number and method of the driving means are not limited.
[0047]
(Example 3)
Since the basic configuration of the automatic rice cooker, the opening / closing means of the water charging hole 90, and the opening / closing means of the rice charging hole 91 are the same as those described above, description thereof will be omitted. As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the side surface of the drive transmission gear 92 is divided into a central side 92a and an outer peripheral side 92b, and the shaded portion is convex as shown in FIGS. The shape is formed so that the convex portions on the center side 92a and the outer peripheral side 92b are shifted by 90 °. Then, the rice injection valve drive lever 93 is brought into contact with the outer peripheral side 92b, and the water injection valve drive lever 94 is brought into contact with the center side 92a so as to face the center of the drive transmission gear 92. Further, the rice introduction hole opening / closing detection micro switch 95 is installed at a position 45 ° counterclockwise from the contact position of the rice introduction valve driving lever, and the water introduction hole opening / closing detection micro switch 96 is installed in the water introduction valve driving lever 94. It is installed at a position moved 45 ° clockwise from the contact position.
[0048]
With the above configuration, when water is supplied, when the drive transmission gear 92 rotates as shown in FIG. 7 and a convex portion comes in contact with the water supply valve drive lever 94, the water supply hole 90 is opened. become. At this time, since the rice insertion valve drive lever 95 is in contact with a position other than the convex portion, the rice insertion hole 91 is closed. An open / close detection microswitch is provided to detect these positions. At this time, the water input hole valve open / close detection microswitch 96 is ON, and the rice input valve open / close detection microswitch 95 is OFF. The detection of opening and closing of the hole is made reliably.
[0049]
As described above, when the water supply hole 90 is opened at the time of water supply and the rice input hole 91 can be closed, moisture generated by splashing into a pan (not shown) or rebounding between water during water supply can be removed. It is possible to prevent intrusion from the inside.
Further, when the rice is thrown in, the drive transmission gear 92 further rotates, and when the convex shape comes into contact with the rice throwing lever 97, the rice throwing hole 91 is opened, and conversely, the water throwing valve driving lever 94 is convex. Since the contact is made at a portion other than the portion, the water injection hole 90 is closed. Regarding the detection of these positions, the rice input opening / closing detection microswitch 95 is ON and the water injection hole opening / closing detection microswitch 96 is OFF, so the open state at this position is detected and becomes this state. It is.
[0050]
With the configuration as described above, when rice is introduced, the rice introduction hole 91 is opened and the water introduction hole 90 is closed, so that rice bran and broken rice generated at the time of rice introduction enter the interior from the water introduction hole 90. This can be prevented and the cleanliness in the water supply path 98 can be maintained.
[0051]
Further, if the water injection hole 90 is closed during cooking, heat retention, and water supply, in other words, the water injection hole 90 in a process other than rice cooking, heat retention, and water supply, for example, in a standby state where nothing is done. Is open. In this way, the fact that the water inlet hole 90 is open in a process other than rice cooking, heat insulation, and standby time other than water supply can naturally dry the water in the water supply path (not shown), Since it is always dry, it is possible to prevent the generation of bacteria and the like, and to provide a clean and safe rice cooker.
[0052]
Further, in the water supply process, water supply is started, a predetermined amount of water is detected, and water supply is stopped, but the water supply hole 90 is not closed immediately after the stop, but is closed after a certain time. . By performing such an operation, water is present in the water supply path immediately after the water supply is stopped, but the water supply hole 90 is closed after the water has been supplied into the pot (not shown). It is doing so. In this way, when the water in the water supply path 90 is completely poured into the pan, a constant amount of water is always poured into the pan, and the error of repeated variations in the amount of water supply is reduced, and the accuracy of the water supply amount is reduced. Leads to improvement. Furthermore, since it is possible to prevent moisture from remaining in the water supply path 98, generation of bacteria in the water supply path can be suppressed.
[0053]
